Operation - Aquaglide Cyclone Owner's Manual

Assembly
1) Locate a flat, dry area with access to electrical outlet or extension cord.
IMPORTANT: Because of the size and weight of the Cyclone™, careful thought
must be given to the setup area. Ideally, the Cyclone™ Enclosure tube and Cy-
clone™ Wheel should be carried into position while inside it's protective storage
bag. The best setup position will also make launching easy. Therefore, locate the
product near the water's edge.
NOTE: Dragging or sliding the Product over ground either before or after inflation
can cause damage.
2) Once in the setup/ launch position, unfold the Cyclone™ Enclosure complete-
ly and locate the Main Valve. The Main Valve is located on the lower half of the
product, near Warning Labels and in white material. See diagram for details.
3) Using a high output pump, place the inflation hose with proper adaptor into the
Main Valve to inflate the Cyclone™ Enclosure. Inflate to 0.75 psi (0,052 bar).
Check for proper air pressure using a manometer. After inflation, replace Main
Valve cover. Inflation times can vary by inflator, but the main section should be
firm and tight when completely inflated. DO NOT OVER-FILL. Excessively
high pressure can cause damage to the product and may void the warranty.
Carefully monitor air pressure in the product especially during hot weather.
WARNING: Do not use an air compressor to inflate tube. Air compressors are
designed for high pressure inflation and can cause tube to burst if over-inflated.
WARNING: Do not use the Cyclone™ Enclosure and Wheel without ad-
equate air pressure - 0.75 p.s.i. (0,052 bar) minimum.
4) Next locate the Cyclone™ Wheel Valve located on the inside of the Cyclone™
Wheel and on the blue material of the perimeter tube. Follow the instructions
and warnings found in Step #3 to properly inflate the wheel. Inflate to 0.75 psi
(0,052 bar). Check for proper air pressure using a manometer.
5) To launch the product, make sure to have at least 4 people evenly spaced
around the product to help carry it. NEVER DRAG THE CYCLONE! YOU MUST
LIFT AND SET TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENTAL TEARING AND/OR ABRASION.
Anchoring
IMPORTANT: Proper anchoring is essential to the safety and performance of
your product. Due to the wide variety of conditions, we advise using a profes-
sional skilled in mooring and anchoring, and experienced with local conditions. If
improperly anchored, the product can move and/or float away. North Sports, Inc.
is not responsible for any damage, injuries or losses due to improper anchoring.
NOTE: There are 4 heavy duty anchor rings and a short bridle underneath the
on the corners of the Cyclone™ Enclosure.
Due to the high loads that may be generated, you must use All 4 of these rings
to spread the load and properly secure the product under normal conditions.
Here are some general guidelines for anchoring your product. These guidelines
are not intended to replace the need for professional installation.
1) Choose a location for your Cyclone™. Place the product in at least 8 ft.
(2,44m) of water depth and in an area protected from the wind and boat traffic.
Review your lake rules and restrictions with your local authorities.

Owner's Manual
2) Carefully check the water and seabed below the selected area
for sharp or dangerous objects (i.e. rocks or stumps).
3) Keep a safe distance from docks, boats, boat lifts, and any
other structures. DO NOT tie the product to a dock!
4) Anchors and anchor chain are sold separately. We recommend
a MINIMUM of 200 lbs. for short-term anchoring of the Cyclone™
in settled conditions. Heavier and/ or multiple moorings (350 - 500
lbs. or more) should be used on large, windy bodies of water.
5) Attach anchor chain securely to the anchor. Use a buoy tied to
the other end of the chain to easily locate your anchor.
6) When the product is in place, remove the buoy and shackle
the anchor chain to the anchor rings underneath the product. BE
SURE TO ALLOW enough slack in the anchor chain to allow the
product to move in wind or waves without displacing your mooring.
7) If strong winds or storms are expected, it is best to remove the
product from the water and secure or store it.

Operation

1) This item is a circular teeter-totter for water use. Users team up
on opposite sides to balance and tip the item in various directions.
2) When connecting multiple items, use only Aquaglide
connecting rings according to the Interloc™ Strap instructions provided. Make
sure that the connection is tight and that there is NO GAP greater than 25mm
(~3/4") between items. IMPORTANT: Failure to connect these items properly
may result in injury or death.
3) We strongly recommend maintaining supervision at all times during use by a
professionally certified lifeguard. NEVER use unattended.
4) Do not exceed the product's recommended number of users or capacity.
5) USE COMMON SENSE. Never jump or dive from the product. Do not
allow anyone to stand on the top of the product because motion could cause a
loss of balance and injury.
6) Do not swim in the area while the product is in use. Ensure that all swimmers
have cleared the area before entering the water and before continuing use of the
product. Never swim underneath the product.
7) The maximum weight capacity is 800 lbs (363 Kg). It is acceptable to have up
to eight people on the product. IMPORTANT:
• Do not exceed product weight capacity of 800lbs. (363 kg)
• Do not concentrate more than 300 lbs. (136 kg) in any one area.
• Do not use without adequate air pressure - 0.75 p.s.i. (0,052 bar)
minimum
8) If the product appears to have lost air pressure, immediately discontinue use.
Check and monitor for proper air pressure and air-holding ability. Do not continue
use until these are confirmed.
9) There are 2 boarding areas on the Cylcone™. To board, approach the board-
ing area that as the Cyclone™ Wheel closest to it. Climb using the handles and
